This is just typical of the NATIONAL GARBAGE LEAGUE!! In the season opener, Sammy Blais hit Devon Toews of Colorado, gets a penalty and a two game suspension. Toews goes off the ice for concussion protocol and returns at the start of the next period. The suspension was BULLSHIRT!! Two games later in Vegas, Mark Stone not only cross checks Tyler Bozak in the head NOT ONCE BUT TWICE AND GIVES HIM A CONCUSSION (WHICH BOZAK HAS NOT PLAYED SINCE) AND GETS NOTHING, NODA, BECAUSE HE IS THE LEADING SCORER OF THE BLACK KNIGHTS!! COLIN CAMPBELL, MIKE MURPHY, AND THE OTHER DUDE WHO MAKE UP THE CHARGES NEED TO BE FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These THREE STOOGES CONTRIBUTE TO THE REPUTATION OF THE NATIONAL GARBAGE LEAGUE!!!!

Hey man, just a heads up, but I think your CAPS-LOCK key is stuck. You might wanna invest in some canned air.

Wilson is a bum, dude crosschecking ovechkin several times got what he deserved. Marchand does much worse and gets away with murder, as did Bergeron behind the net on a cap in the previous game. Dish it out, you get it back. Mask up!!!

I love the posting of still shots as any sort of valid evidence that exonerates Wilson.

Look! He never even touched him!

Yeah, poster probably reluctant to show the one where Wilson's fists are slamming Carlo's head into the glas.

Bruins were taking liberties with OV and this is what happens. Right or wrong it was coming and it's good to see Boston get a taste of it. SHould have only been a few games but is what it is.

WTF?

During that game where Bruins were "taking liberties" with Oven-Chicken, he speared one of them in the nads. And got a fine for it. wow.

Wilson has been suspended multiple times Ek, case closed. Maybe he can join the caveman hockey league

Some of you guys need to chill. You’re laying it in the league to police to review and met out punishment for liberties taken in the heat of the moment. Slow motion replay, and reputation/status will always enter into the verdict. That is unfortunately, how it works.

My Neanderthal way of simple. You wait for the offender to be vulnerable, then let go of a flying elbow to the head of the guy that you believe did you dirty. Payback sucks, but it works! Lesson here? Yep, don’t wait for someone else to take care of YOUR business. Even a guy as tough as Wilson, will get a concussion from a well placed flying elbow.

Problem solved. You’re welcome!

Hey EK, why don't you make up a rumor that's plausible for a change and notice that the Avs put EJ on LTIR the same night that Hunter Miska blew a 4-2 lead with 7 minutes left including letting in a complete muffin. How about, say, Bernier who plays for a team going absolutely nowhere, is on an expiring contract and had a really nice season for the Avs 3 years ago. I know it has nothing to do with the Leafs, Habs or Flyers but people won't assault you in the comments for suggesting it and it'll bolster your credibility quite a bit on the pretty good chance it comes true...

Until the league gets it's poop together, I have to agree 100% with the sentiment of this statement. Wilson is a predator with a history of head-hunting. If the league is going to keep slapping offenders on the wrist, then the players will have to mete out justice on their own. Eye for an eye. The headhunter becomes the headhunted. Knock Mr. Tough Guy Wilson into next week with your choice of : slewfoot, spear, flying elbow, head butt, whatever breaks through that thick Cro-Magnon head of his and gets the point across.

That still pic was utter crap. Stop it just before he pushes the guy's head into the glass? Tool.

A good way to end the Wilson-type threat is to get clauses in the contract that any fines will be paid by the team and players will not miss any cheques when they are suspended. At least ONE guy, anyhow.

Nice crosscheck to the teeth by a sudden Providence call up learns Wilson.

100% makes sense – Wilson's hit was a headshot on a vulnerable player by a repeat offender which caused an injury, whereas Ovechkin's spear was a well-deserved (although not particularly honourable) response to two unprovoked cross-checks to the arm – Frederick messed with a legend and got what he deserved: harm, but no foul.

I watched the hit.

Seems like a 2 minute minor to me......

When did everyone become a wussy?

Borderline legal hit, but still, IF that's illegal, it's pretty marginally illegal.

Tom Wilson should be banned from the NHL. He will 100% do something like this again. It is becoming apparent that the players need to protect themselves against him and the best way would be to take him out before he has a chance to end someone’s career. He has no code and no honor and no player should treat him as if he has any.

Wilson will continue to do this until he eventually kills someone or cripples them. Its going to happen just a matter of when

Simple solution, expand the Roster by 1 and kickstart the arms race. There are so many soft Teams now.

Teams shouldn’t even be subtle about it. The first time Wilson steps back onto the ice, everybody jumps over the boards, clear the bench, goes after him and just start swinging sticks. He’s a punk and punks get dealt with. He needs to go.

Both were weak. Wilson should not have been suspended, and Ovechkin gave the guy a jab after he was jabbed 2 or 3 times by the other guy. Now if Ovechkin did that without being provoked, OK. But don't poke a bear unless your willing to be bit. The NHL is getting soft

A player on the ice with the puck on his stick is defenseless? Ok, maybe some guys need to wear pink jerseys so they can not be checked.

Maybe you should read up on the Boarding infraction - as it appears you don't really know what it is or how it should be applied.

Remember that time Wilson got Wilson'd by Reaves and Wilson's salty tears almost ruined the ice surface....

So the next time Wilson gets Wilson'd, no matter how dirty it is, it will be well deserved. Hopefully the next time ends his career.
